THE ART OF EMeALMlNe.
How Bodies of the Dead Are Preserve
for Future Generations.

How Bodies Of the Dead Are Preserved
for Future Generations.
Said a reporter to a prominent under
taker the other day; IL suppose this
warm weather will cause you to get out
your refrigerators?"
swell, it would a few years ago, but
now, you know, we use ice for pre-
serving a body except in a few cases
where the friends Oh relatives object to
our ~embalming it."
s'That is more expensive, though, is it
not?"
''Oh, no: the cost is about the same
and the trouble is much less. Now, you
see, in using ice we have a big box to
carry around, and where we have three
or four cases at the same time we would
be obliged to have several coolers, but by
the new way Of preserving here is all we
have to carry and he laid his hand on
what looked like a sample case, such as
is ordinarily carried by a liquor salesman.
On opening the case it bore a striking
resemblance to a surgeons case, except
that on one side there were three quart
bottles filed with milky looking fluids.
The instruments consisted of a small
knife, a lancet such as is used by physi-
clans in tapping" and a syringe with a
great variety of nozzles. ''This, said the
undertaken, picking up the syringe, sis
the principal thing used, and the nozzles
are used in just as many ways as there
are nozzles. Now we use this nozzle when
we do not intend to do a regular job Of
embalming. but simply to preserve the
body a day or two, and it is used for
injecting the fluid into the stomach. This
is for a hypodermic injection, this for a
vein, this for an artery and this is used
for what we call initiating. That is, If the
person has been sick a long time and is
very thin in the face, we insert this in
the face under the ear and force a certain
fluid into the face TO give it a round ap-
pearance."
Then I understand that it is not neces-
sary to fill the veias and arteries in order
to preserve a body for a few days?"
"Not by any means. Of course it de-
ponds very much on the condition of the
body when given into hands, but Or
dinarily we inject into the stomach and
intestines and into the head through the
nose and ears. In a thorough job, where
the body has to be kept a number Of days
in warm weather, we fill the arteries, and
in case Of the sudden death Of q vigorous
person we usually have to draw out the
blood first. This we are obliged to do
while the body is warm. but we do not
inject the embalming fluid till the animal
warmth has left the body"
"How long will a body retain its natural
appearance that has been thoroughly
treated!"
II can hardly say, All the way from
one year to ten or even more, and / ex-
pect il ! embalmed a body just to see
how long l could keep it, II would keep
till it was destroyed by outside agencies.
/ have removed bodies that have been
buried three or four years that were per-

Monkeys as Track Inspectors.

Near a place called Niddivunda there is
a large tope which is well known to be
infested with a host of monkeys. Having
no other mode Of occupying their dull
hours, they are bent upon trying 10 de-
stroy the railroad track on the Tambur
line. II would appear that these animals,
about fifty or sixty, form themselves into
two companies; they range themselves
systematically, one-half on one rail and
the other half on the other. They begin
by first removing the earth from the
sides of the rails. Then they arrive at
the difficulty Of nuts and bolts, which.
though they examine them very infinitely,
they cannot get over. On the approach
of the up or down train. they will wait
till the engine is within a few yards,
when, with the utmost GOODNESS, they
jump on one side till the train has
passed, and then resume their work.
A remarkable instance occurred on one
of these occasions. Asa N engine was ap-
preaching, the monkeys made their usual
Jumps, with the exception of one, who
persisted in remaining ON the line, the
by this time being very near. Five
or six monkeys, seeing the danger n of
their number was in, made a sudden rush
and dragged him off, some laying hold Of
him by the tail, others by the legs; they
saved him. They are now styled the
Niddivmda gangmen by the guards and
drivers .-The Christian at Work.

Teeth and Physical Condition,

In a recent address on dental surgery
Sir James Paget dwells upon the high
functions Of the molars, which, he SAYS,
stand half way between the dead and the
hving-that is to say, between the food
TO he consumed and the tissues formed by
it. Upon them depends very greatly the
character which will be given to those It's
sues. In other words, the mode in which
we masticate has an appreciate effect
upon our future physical condition. who
knows how much those thirty-two bites
which Mr.. Gladstone is believed TO take
at every piece of meat which he consumes
may have had to do with his bodily sys-
tenn, and hence, by no means indirectly,

BADLY BURNT.-On Tuesday last a
colored man named James Robinson,
living in that part of the city known
as Uniontown," undertook to rid his
grape vines of cobwebs In peculiar
way, with painful result. Taking a
lot of powder, he placed some of it on
pan in his hand, while the balance
lover pound) was laid at his feet. In
attempting to light what he held on
the pan to place beneath the affected
vines, spark fell into the powder on
the ground, an explosion followed,
and the man was enveloped in flames.
He rushed wildly into the house, bad
ly frightening the family and seeking
relief. When the flames rolled by,
the unfortunate man was found to be
seriously burned, especially about the
face and neck.
SNAKE-BITE.-On Monday evening
last, Hinkle, age about 10 years, son
of Mr.. James Carper, who lives near
the Opequon, this county, was bitten
on the foot by a snake supposed to be
copperhead. 1t appears the lad was
about so yards from the house, walk
ing his bare feet, when suddenly felt
something unpleasant under one foot,
and before he realized his danger, the
reptile had raised its head and struck
its poisons fangs into the foot. With
out stopping to critically examine,
much less to despatch his snakeship,
the boy hurried home and informed
his parents, who promptly poulticed
the wound, tied ligature about the
ankle, and then sent for DIR. Maynard,
of this city, who rendered further
medical aid and left the unfortunate
youth resting easy with no dangerous
ymptoms.- Winchester Leader.

fixed the salaries of No. l teachers at
(only) S28 per month. $500 was pro-
vided for by a levy of 10 cents on each

AT Sleepy Greek, June SOth, by
Rev. M. l.. Maysilles, Jacob Thomp-
son and Miss Alice Tedrick, all of
Morgan County.
Mr.. II. X. Dean, visitor on the
4th of July in Berkeley Springs, died
of nervous prostration, His remains
were taken to Cincinnati for interment
on the afternoon of that day.
Mr.. Samuel Swain, father of VIM.
d. Swain of Grafton, died June 9th,
at his home in Missouri.
Mr.. Swain, was born July 9Th,
1905, in Morgan county, Va, and con-
sequently was within one month of
being 50 years old at the time of his
death. In the fall of 1843 he moved
to the State of Ohio, the conveyance
being two horse covered wagon, and
settled in Seneca county, that county
being named after tribe of Indians
by that name. Mr.. VIM. Swain was
then a lad about IL years old, and well
remembers seeing the Indians as there
were some remaining in Ohio, though
in partly civilized condition. The
elder Mr.. Swain not liking that Sec
ton of country, it being almost q will
derness, removed the following spring
with his family back to Morgan coun-
ty, Va, the conveyance being the
same two horses and wagon with which
he had first made the trip. He re-
NAMED then in Morgan county until
the fall of 1854, just IL years from his
return, and again decided to try his
fortunes in the west and moved to the
same county in Ohio where he had
formerly resided, leaving his son,
VIM. Swain, and daughter, Mary, in
Morgan county. The same wagon
and one of the faithful horses which
had carried them over the Alleghanies
| years before, were the same to take
them back again. Mr.. Swain remain
ed in Ohio for some years and then
moved to Illinois and from there TO
Missouri, in which State he died,
being stricken with paralysis, and
only surviving about one hour after
ward. Mr.. Swain leaves numerous
relatives and friends in Morgan coun-
ty, w. Va, and a son, Mr.. VIM.
Swain, of Grafton, to mourn his loss.

THE JULY COSMOPOLITAN The
July Cosmopolitan is the first number
of this remarkably successful maya
zine published in New York city.
Since its removal from Rochester, 1t
has been greatly enlarged and inn
proved in every way. Its handsome
cover, designed by Stanford White, is
certain to attract attention. Its beau
tiful illustrations and great variety of
interesting and valuable articles by
prominent writers make 1t the best
and cheapest magazine published. 1t
opens with q handsomely illustrated
article by Lousie Chandler Moulton,
entitled ga Lazy Tour in Spain.'
The frontispiece, =" Ina Madrid Cafe"
"Monte Carlo: Its Games and Came
sters," by Charles G. Welman, is an

being full and picturesque descrip-
ton of the most famous gambling re-
sort in the world. Il. w. Kemble's
illustrations accompanying Mrs. An
gelina Teal's story, "a Hoosier Capu-
let," are full of quaint humor. The

1t is said that some of the farmers
of Jefferson county have such i'm
mense crops of hay that they will not
be able to make it all.
1t is estimated that not less than a
barrel of whiskey was brought from
Martinsburg to this place on Monday
in jugs and bottles. And fully as
much more was brought internally.
Five hundred tents will be provid-

for brilliant pyrotechnic display.
A PECULIAR OCCURRENCE.-Mr
James Tenant, Waterman at the pa
per mill at the river in ShepherstOwn
reports a very peculiar event that
happened a few days ago. He had
an outline across the river just below
the wagon bridge, which he was in
the habit of batting in the evening
and going over in the morning to
take the fish off. Thursday morning
one part of the line felt very heavy,
and as he raised it from the water he
saw a musket and an eel tangled up
in the line. Investigation showed
that the eel had been caught on the
hook, aud, seeking to pull itself loose,
had wrapped its tail around the old
musket lying on the bottom of the
river and pulled it up to the line. In
its struggle the eel had gotten the
line wrapped around the gun holding
it so that Mr.. Tenant was able to
secure it. During the war ferry
boat crowded with Confederate sold
iers was sunk at that place, and about
twenty of them were drowned. The
musket was doubtless a part of the
equipment of the soldiers, and has
| lain in the river ever since. Although
this story sounds like I" fish tale,'
we assure our readers that it is alb.
solutely true, and Mr.. Tenant now
has in his possession the gun sc
strangely recovered.
